About Tangier

Tangier has always been a place with strategic importance apart from tourism. Situated on the strait of Gibraltar, Tangier has been ruled by numerous conquerors over time. It is believed to be the most primitive city of North Africa. The excellent beaches, the median, kasbah, and the souk make the place worth visiting.

The city is built on the limestone hills. It is an important port and a significant center for trade. With its excellent road connections, the business has been an easy thing without hassle. With the increase in tourism, the city is developing each year. The beaches are getting cleaner, the roads are getting safer, and monuments are being taken care of properly. Rapid development and modernization are bringing new business, new projects, and unique scopes for the locals. While at Tangier, sipping a mint tea at louche café, strolling in the bayfront of the corniche, and witnessing the age-old cultures takes you to a whole new world of adventures.

A place that is a gateway to Africa, Tangier has a unique blend of culture and has been influencing the people across Morocco. The place, at one point in time, was the summer capital of Moroccan royal residence. It is worth a visit while in Morocco with a unique feel it gives, which is hard to find anywhere else.
